Iran Press/ West Asia: Sirens warning of incoming rockets have blared across the Israeli-occupied territories after Palestinian resistance fighters launched a volley of rockets and infiltrated areas of southern Israel in a surprise counteroffensive claimed by Hamas.
Saleh al-Arouri, deputy chief of Hamas in the occupied West Bank, has issued a call to arms.
“We must all fight this battle, especially the resistance fighters in the West Bank,” he said in a statement.
“The West Bank is the final word in this battle, and it can open a clash with all the settlements in the West Bank. We call on our people to participate in the battle of Al-Aqsa Flood.”
The Red Alerts warning sirens were activated in Tel Aviv, as well as Sde Boker, Arad, and Dimona in the south as explosions were heard by residents. In al-Quds, rocket sirens sounded followed by the sound of explosions, reports said.
Hamas' armed wing said more than 5,000 rockets were fired from the Gaza Strip into Israel on Saturday, declaring it had started "Operation al-Aqsa Flood".
Media sources also announced the beginning of the all-round and complex operations of the Palestinian resistance in the occupied territories and announced that the resistance fighters clashed with the Zionists at the same time as they launched a rocket attack on the occupied territories, by infiltrating the Zionist settlements around Gaza.
